Cut out and keep

Here's a chart of the options provided to the BBC by consultants Frontier Economics, on what to do about free-licences for the Over-75s. It's not necessarily what will be put out to consultation.

It demonstrates very clearly that the BBC should not be put in charge of social policy; it's an abnegation of Government responsibility, delivered by smarty-pants George Osborne. Options 5 and 6 at least align with a Government-defined estimation of need. (Over-75s may need to click on the chart to go large....)
